And thus I wander, at least a bit every day, with vague intention and no clear destination. Not knowing what I&#39;ll find, I tend to find things. Very often they are wonderful things.&quot;briangohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00108724419234073620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-25270530913441503662012-08-29T11:56:04.987-07:002012-08-29T11:56:04.987-07:00&quot;This a book on serendipity, a mediation on r...&quot;This a book on serendipity, a mediation on roads less traveled...&quot;<br /><br />Was that put there to catch me? ;)<br /><br />Nice yoke about copy editors.Johann Rissiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-19778309044292813542012-08-27T19:07:40.347-07:002012-08-27T19:07:40.347-07:00I enjoyed the VW story. keep writing.

It&#39;s nice to find a kindred spirit.<br /><br />I suspect you will have read Blue Highways, by William Least Heat-Moon, but your description of this book made me think of it. If you haven&#39;t read it, you have my heartfelt envy, because you have one of the most delightful literary experiences of your life still ahead of you.Velosopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02731815508918636273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-41115701241459449332012-08-23T17:01:49.026-07:002012-08-23T17:01:49.026-07:00VW: I thought that behavior sounded familiar, and ...VW: I thought that behavior sounded familiar, and sure enough it was a Rabbit. The offending part was a fuel pump relay. Lots of current going through a very small box of circuitry, too much heat, no way to dissipate. Basically a design flaw, and none of the work-arounds that mechanics tried on mine lasted very long. Pleasant memories of stalls, one of them on a bridge going across the mighty Mississippi in Mineapolis.<br /><br />Now to track down Ken Nerburn&#39;s stuff on Amazon...Mark Fultonhttp://faculty.bemidjistate.edu/mfulton/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-74411521842576725302012-08-22T15:27:00.345-07:002012-08-22T15:27:00.345-07:00I&#39;ll have to check out Kent Nerburn&#39;s work...I&#39;ll have to check out Kent Nerburn&#39;s work now (and how cool is it that he found this entry and popped by to comment?) :)<br /><br /><br />~ <a href="http://www.rhondaparrish.com" title="YA, fantasy and horror writer" rel="nofollow">Rhonda Parrish</a>Rhonda Parrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509193591749273354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-23647097220521619192012-08-22T08:04:28.173-07:002012-08-22T08:04:28.173-07:00Hi Kent - Love the story about the car.

I grew up in Montana and spent many years in Minnesota - I owned more than one car that I should have torched!! :-)<br /><br />I read Jonathan Livingston Seagul when I was in elementary school (completely wasted on me) because it contained my full first name and I was living in Livingston, MT at the time. :-)<br />JDhttp://jdfinley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-38668382919248920382012-08-21T19:21:56.563-07:002012-08-21T19:21:56.563-07:00I am so glad I read your blog today, Kent.

You&#39;ve found one of my favorite literary children who died an untimely death due to a bad title, bad promotion, and the bad luck of having been published right into the jaws of 9-11, which was not a time when people were interested in a rather jocular, self-deprecating voice on matters of life and death. So &quot;Road Angels&quot; lives only in used bookstores and the memories of a few odd readers who stumbled upon it in its short lifetime. <br /><br />You have given it a momentary burst of life, and I thank you. It is only fitting that it would be another &quot;Kent&quot; who would find it and praise it. <br /><br />You&#39;ve made my day. Keep those pedals turning.Kent Nerburnhttp://www.kentnerburn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-83838792225088868752012-08-20T22:34:30.905-07:002012-08-20T22:34:30.905-07:00Yesterday&#39;s comment was too long.
